I love the Blog Hop hosted by crazy-for-books.com, and especially the weekly questions (and of course having a nose at other people's answers) This week's question is:
"Why do you read the genre that you do? What draws you to it?"
I read a lot of different genres, although fantasy doesn't really float my boat. I really like a good thriller that draws me in and makes me want to keep reading to find out what happens. When I get engrossed in a book like that it's pure escapism. I also enjoy historical books, particularly modern history and stories from other countries. I don't mind whether it's a true story or fiction based on real events. I love to feel like I'm learning about events and about places I may never get to visit.
